IPASP-

What have we done for the Association?Often we feel tired. We are over worked. We silently suffer harassment, human right/tradeunion rights violation in the hands of higher officers. We face threatening words, chargesheet and oral/written warnings daily. Many of our DPS/PMG/CPMG behave indecently. Theyabuse IPs/ASPs in front of our subordinates. Some of these officers make use of OLIC meetingto abuse IPs/ASPs only. Some of these officers go to the extent of using filthy languageagainst our cadre. We know these violations are liable to be condemned. But we do not do it.Because, there is no awareness among our cadre. The Association holds meetings, trainingprogramme, group meetings and workshop to create awareness about Trade Union Rights,ILO Conventions and Misuse of Conduct Rules. But we are not ready to make use of it.TheAssociation provides opportunity to build up our strength and knowledge to challenge suchindecent behaviour of higher officers. But we evade such opportunities taking some excuses.At the same time if higher officers call for working on Saturdays/Sundays and holidays andeven odd hours, we are ready to comply without any excuse. They extract all sort of work bygiving false promises. They exploit us all the time. They force us to achieve target by hookand crook. We achieve the target; they get promotion. They increase the number of posts ofDPS, PMG and Members. What do we get in turn? We are faithful to the department. We workday and night. We do not bother about our family, our own health and even our Association.Many of us suffer from serious health problems. Many of our friends died of heart attack becauseof tension created by these officers. But these officers are not grateful to this cadre.How many of them have recommended to the department to upgrade the grade pay of IP/ASPto Rs 4600/ 4800?. None ! We must identify these officers and give them fitting response. Wecannot do it individually. But as an Association we are strong enough to return them in thesame coin. We have to learn more. We have to understand our weakness. We have to participateactively in the Association meetings and programmes. We have to improve our strength,skill, knowledge and awareness. We must set aside the differences. We should respect ourleadership. We must strengthen the hands of leadership to fight and achieve our rights. Wehave to strengthen our unity. We must be ready to join the struggle whenever there is a callfrom the Association. If we involve ourselves in the Association activities, we have the satisfactionthat we have done something to our Association!
